Miss Ireland Semi-Finalist, Laura Martin, originally from Cork but who moved to the West of Ireland three years ago to start her career, is hoping to secure a place in this year's Miss Ireland final.
Laura is a 25 year old marketing and design manager for Sweeney Oil and is also completing her third degree and Masters in Computer Science part-time.
Laura is a youth mentor in Mayo with Foroige’s Big Brother Big Sister programme, an internationally recognised youth mentoring programme that helps to form supportive friendships for young people and inspire them to brighter futures.
Laura has successfully run several fundraising events in recent years, from raising over €1,700 for Pieta House in March 2020, when they had to cancel their “Darkness into light” event - Laura did a 30 km run around Castlebar to raise awareness and funds. Laura has also raised over 800 new toys for Airc Mayo, an organisation for Children with disabilities, and has also raised over €800 for ISPCC, by holding her own sleep-out.
Laura uses her social media to help raise awareness about health, mental health and education and she also runs a free service to help people with their CVs and to help them get interviews and land a job.
